A member asked:
I am about to get my first cavity filled what can i expect and i am afraid of needles is there anything they can do to help with that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be: difficult to avoid needles altogether, but dentists and oral surgeons often encounter this issue. I suggest you call your dentist's office, tell them your concern and ask what they can do to help you through the process. Best wishes. Dr. Anne.
